A24 has officially unveiled the first-ever still from Robert Eggers’ upcoming medieval horror film Werwulf, with Esquire premiering the haunting image featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the film’s mysterious titular creature.
The image doesn’t give much away, but it immediately feels like pure Eggers. Dark, grimy, and soaked in the same atmospheric dread that made The Witch and Nosferatu such unforgettable experiences.
Set in 13th-century England, Werwulf follows a community terrorized by a mysterious creature as folklore begins to manifest into reality. Eggers has previously described the film as “a medieval werewolf movie” and called it “the darkest thing I have ever written. By far.”
The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.
Werwulf stalks into theaters on Christmas Day. It also marks another holiday horror release for Eggers following the massive success of Nosferatu. Between his meticulous period settings and unmistakable visual style, this already looks like another perfect fit for both the filmmaker and A24’s horror brand.
